The 16 in limit makes it tough. But boy it produces some nice bags. I talked to several of the pros sunday after they got off the water and others that did not make the cut and they have been told that the PAA is going to bring it back to conroe next year.

(I was hesitant posting anything since if it doesn't have anything to do with Fork they tend to move the post.)
I was there Friday with the Phoenix Boat guys doing some test drives on the water and helping with the new dealer on Livingston. We had a great time with all the different vendors. Haven't seen that many since the Classic. I think the Pasture black land was close to a disaster if it had rained another day. Like the other post I was also surprised that Conroe was selected but I guess the Chamber put up some good money.

The guys I talked to really enjoyed the Tourn. and the lake. Their real complaint were the scales used. Since they did not weight to the exact weight of the fish. I thought overall it was a good show. Enjoyed the event. The anglers were great. I visited with several guys at dinner and at the show.

I rode with tommy biffle on friday and joe Thomas on sat..It was definetly a wild ride coming back to check in with minutes to get there and your in Walden ..70+ mph in two to three ft chop..my body still hurts...One of the judges was with Caka on fri and told him he was driving to fast and had to slow down for Him..Cuz he (judge) didnt like going that fast....

I now know, between a Nitro Z9 and a Basscat Puma, what rides smoother at 75 in two foot chop. That was pretty wild ride back on Saturday with the hot foot floored. Made me a little sore the next day.

Z9 is a better ride.

i heard most of the guys in the top ten were flipn docks and crankn rocks, i can't believe with all the talent in that feild of pros that no one got on a deep bite with a five pound average

It was a great time had by all, maybe you fork guys should have gotten off your cans and come down! I had to go get my boat back from richland chambers sunday and still had an hour to kill before the sunday weigh in. This was the first big-show event that I ever attended, I was shocked at how approachable and friendly all the pros were. I look forward to going again next year, I also was dicouraged at the low weights knowing what lives in the lake; but I also had to laugh at the 8.96 that won the basschamps event up north. Just goes to show how these fronts can really mess up the bite I guess!!!!!
